(ROSALIE'S P.O.V)
The sun is about to rise when I decided to get back home. Jane and I had a good chat throughout the night talking about Bella in her childhood. I realized then that I still have lot of things I didn't know bout my human mate. It was silly of me, really... but I envy Jane for knowing my mate more than I should. That she was able to protect Bella in any harms while growing up... and that she was there, be with her and got to witness my Bella to grew into an amazingly beautiful woman that she is today. I was jealous, if only I was there too... maybe, her childhood would be much better, much enjoyable, much happier... much safer. But I was not. I wasn't there when Bella slaved herself for her mother. I wasn't there when she got lonely at night missing her friends back at Forks. I wasn't there when those little brats tried to bully her because she doesn't have a dad with her. And I wasn't there when that bastard James... I growl in fury remembering of what he did to my Bella. My innocent mate. How dare he! I was so angry, lost at the thought of my mate being hurt by James that I didn't realized what am I doing.
"Rose it's okay. Bella is fine. Asleep in her room. You have to calm down. Please." I heard a very concerned voice. I can't recognize the voice until I felt something, a feeling of calmness being push to me. I growl in irate. How dare them to try and control my emotions? The nerve of this... whoever they are! Even Jazz know not to- I stopped ranting internally when a thought came to mind. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath trying to calm myself down. I had a suspicion who these vampires are. And I was right. The moment I open my eyes, I saw two familiar pairs of golden eyes are looking at me in relief.
"Welcome back, sis. " Alice said giving me a tight hug. "I saw these happening while Jazz and I are playing Xbox. I told him of my vision and we hurriedly left the house to get you but I guess we were a bit too late." she let go from hugging and look around. "You made quite a destruction here, don't you think?"
Looking to my surrounding, I saw what she's talking about. It was a mess alright but not destruction. Let's just say like there was a super typhoon passed through in this area. Trees, smalls and big were wiped out, animals were laying dead at the ground and here I am. A complete mess. Dirt and blood mixing with my clothing. I sigh. I don't know what to feel about this. Bella surely won't be happy and that was something I don't want to happen. Her smile is one of the many things I love. I can already see the disappointment on those beautiful brown eyes of hers if she saw me in this state. My stomach churned in such a bad bad way. I feel like throwing up if that even possible for a vampire. The thought of my disappointed mate did this to me.
"Bella will understand. Believe me, she will." Jasper reassure me with understanding smile. Alice just nod as if she knew what Jasper were referring to.
"Sometimes I wonder if you can read minds too." I told Jasper giving him a small grateful smile. I don't have to say it, he knew what I am feeling. That's what I like about him. I don't have to say my feelings out loud. He knows even I don't speak of it. He's an empath after all.
"We should head home. You need a shower." Alice commented scrunching up her nose cutely. I laugh at that and purposely rub my dirty skin on her expensive dress making her squeal "Rosalie Lillian Hale, GET OFF ME NOW!"
I just laugh at her attempt to get away from me which always failed as we all know I'm faster and stronger than my little pixie sister. "Jasper help!" Alice whine but my twin just laugh at my antics as he follow us to our home.
(BELLA'S P.O.V)
I woke up feeling light and refresh. A smile grace my face remembering what had transpired yesterday. Rosalie is my mate and I couldn't be happier.
"Someone's in a good mood." Jane's commented with a smile. She was leaning at the door frame with her arms crossed in her chest.
"I am." I admitted softly returning the smile. "Good morning, Jane."
"Morning too, Princess. Breakfast is ready so why don't you get ready and I'll wait for you downstairs?
"Okay, thanks." with that, Jane left and I start getting ready. I wonder what did Rosalie and Jane talked about last night. I know that Rosalie didn't left right away when I fell asleep. I just hope that the two of them can be friends or at least be civil with each other but it will be much better if they are going to be friends.
Dad was already sitting in his usual seat by the time I made it to our kitchen. The food Jane made smells delicious as always making my stomach made a small noise. Jane just smirk at me while I sat down embarrassingly. Dad and I greeted each other good morning before devouring Jane's prepared breakfast for us. I was almost done eating when Jane inform us that she has to go. Though I had no idea why is she leaving, I let her leave telling her to take care.
Dad and I left alone in silence. Both lost on our thoughts. I want to tell Charlie about Rosalie, but is it the right time? Will he accept my relationship with her? Or is he going to be against it? I guess only Charlie can answer. But how am I going to begin this conversation? My musing was interrupted by an awkward cough from my dad, I guess to get my attention.
"Uhm, Bells... I want to tell you something. I uh- what am saying is that uh-" dad took a deep breath trying to calm his nerve, I can see how nervous he is, making my interest spark at what is it he wants to tell me. "SUEANDIARETOGETHER." my dad blurted out with a hint of pink hue on both of his cheeks.
"Dad I'm not sure if I heard it right can you please repeat that again?" Actually I think I understood what he said but I'm not certain. With a sigh dad tried again and this time I heard it loud and clear.
"I said Sue and I are together in a while now. "
"Oh okay... so who's Sue?" I ask curiously though the name sounds familiar. Dad dating again is cool to me. I want him to be happy and have someone to take care of him. I know I won't be always here with him. My time of becoming a vampire is getting closer each day and when that time comes, I have no other choice but to leave.
"You don't remember? Sue Clearwater. Leah and Seth's mother. You and Jacob used to play with Leah in their house back then." my eyes widen hearing the name I haven't heard for a long time. Charlie just smile watching my reaction.
"You mean Seth is Leah's little brother? I didn't know! Seth was just a baby when I left Forks." I said in surprise. Because really, I don't have any idea. Seth mentioned that he has a sister but I didn't know it was Leah. Leah is my other protector beside Jake. The three of us were always together. She's the only one who doesn't call me princess. She has this nickname for me and only she can use it. I wonder how she is now? Is she still as short tempered as I remember? What does she look now? Does she know about Charlie and her mom's relationship?
"Bells!" I heard Charlie called me louder than it should pulling me out of my thoughts.
"Sorry dad, so... you and Sue huh?" At his nod, an honest smile broke to my face. Dad let out a relieve sigh as I went to his side and hug him. "All I want is for you to have someone that makes you happy. If it's Sue, then you have my full support. I love you dad."
"Love you too, Bells. And thank you but there's more." Dad replied hesitantly as we pulled away from the hug. I sat again at my seat and look at him letting him know that I'm listening.
"I asked them to move in with us, and Sue said yes, so uh, expect them to be here by this week." my dad look down unable to look at me. When I didn't replied right away he continued "I know I should tell you first before asking her to move here but, I don't know Bells, it just happened. We were having this dinner and the next thing I know I was asking her to live with us which she said yes. It was unexpec-"
"Dad" I interrupted his ramblings though I am not sure how to react about this but dad was back to being nervous and fidgety, I don't even know if he still breathing from talking that much! "Relax, I guess it's alright, I mean yeah me, Leah and Sue were close back then but I haven't seen them for a long time. I just thought it'll be awkward at first."
"It'll be fine. Sue is excited to see you and Leah surely misses you. It's going to be okay, Bells." Dad reassured which earned a small smile from me.
We went back to our breakfast in silent. Dad understood that I had a lot of things in my mind. He maybe thinks that I'm trying to sort out everything he just told me but honestly, that is not the only thing in my mind right now. Actually most part of my mind was occupied by the thought of one Rosalie Hale. I have to tell dad. He have to know. Better to hear from me than the gossip, right?
"Dad, I have a confession too." I began, heart beating rather loudly. I know now what dad felt just awhile ago. I saw dad gave me his attention so I continued. "I uh- dating someone."
"Who's the lucky guy?" Charlie asked smiling softly then start guessing "Oh is it Jacob Black? Wow Bells, I know you two are great friends I can't say I didn't expect this but it still a surprise!"
"Nuh uh no, dad it's not Jacob."
"He's not?" He asked and I shook my head. "Don't tell me it's that Mike boy, I heard that guy had been asking you out for awhile now." wha- where did he heard that?! My eyes widen in surprise. Dad seeing my expression jump on conclusion, his face hard and serious "It's him, isn't he? Listen, Bells. I want to meet this guy personally. I heard a lot of things about him and most of them aren't good. I want to make sure he won't-" my jaw dropped at his assumption. Did he seriously think I'm dating that infuriating boy?
"Dad, stop! I'm not dating Mike. He's an ass. I'm dating someone
else. Mike is nothing compare to her." As soon as that word came out of my mouth, I stopped from talking, realizing I slipped. Dad look at me with a frown.
"Her? Did you just said her?" I just nod in confirmation unable to speak. "Does she make you happy?" again, I nodded but this time I look at him in the eye.
"She's done nothing but make me smile." I told him with a soft smile. Charlie just look at me, watching my every expression. He was silent for awhile so I spoke again. "Dad I t-think, no, I KNOW I love her"
"Does she love you as well?" Dad asked me. His expression and tone serious. I am about to reply when there's another voice beat me to it.
"Yes, sir. I love her more than life itself." came a voice of my love. Rosalie walk to my direction giving me a peck in the cheek. "Sorry for my intrusion, I rung your doorbell but no one came to answer. Anyway, I'm sure you already know me I'm Rosalie Hale. And yes, sir. I am the one your daughter is dating."
"Please call me Charlie. I was surprise but since both of you are happy then I have no right to interfere. I'm just relieved it wasn't Mike that Bella is dating." Charlie said looking at the both of us.
"Believe me Charlie, I'm as relieve as you." Rose respond as the two laugh.
"Thanks, dad. It means so much to me that you approve of us." I told him honestly.
"Anything for the happiness of my baby girl. Now, you better go or you'll be late to school. Rosalie drive safely."
"I will. Goodbye, Charlie."
"Bye, dad."
(ALICE P.O.V)
Today is the day. The day I have been waiting for all my vampiric life. The day I will meet her. My mate. The vision came right after I got away from Rosalie's grasp. I was ranting about my designer clothes being dirtied by my sister when the vision came. It's still blurred but I can make out a few things. Like I recognize Rose and Bella at the parking lot of our school walking hand in hand. Then there they are, a boy and the beautiful human standing at the gate. The beautiful woman look up to see Bella and wave at her. A surprise look cover Bella's face when she saw the two stranger. All of the sudden the vision had stopped. But the blurred image of the beautiful woman lingered in my mind.
So you can imagine why I'm in such a good mood even though Rose had manage to made a mess of one of my favorite designer clothes. Today I'm in the same spot in my vision. Humming happily as I waited for Bella and Rosalie to arrive. I wonder what took them so long? Then the vision of Bella and her dad talking appeared in my head with Rosalie as she unintentionally overheard the conversation outside the Swans residence. 'Oh well, that answered my question'
15 minutes later, Rosalie and Bella arrived. The two walk out of Rosalie's car hand in hand. Bella smiled brightly when she saw me waiting for them. Rose although look bored and stoic for humans, had a noticeable smirk on those lips. I rolled my eyes at her knowing already what's on her mind. She thinks it's funny what she did to my expensive designer dress but to me it wasn't. But I don't want that to affect my good mood today so I ignore Rose and turn my attention to Bella giving her a smile. Only to falter when I saw the surprise and panic look on my human friend. Following the line of her sight I saw what or who that cause her to have that kind of expression. There standing at the school gate is a vampire boy and the human girl.
"Riley" I heard Bella mutter a name looking at the vampire boy with red eyes. The longing and confusion apparent in her voice. But what astound me is how Bella pronounce the girl's name. Anyone can easily recognize the shock, anger and mostly pain filled in her voice. This girl's name is
"Bree."
A/N: I'm back and sorry it was a short one. Sorry too that I took so long to update this story and I'm thinking if I should still continue this? I got a job that consumed most of my time that's why I haven't been able to update. But now I quit and have all the time in the world. Problem is... How the heck am I suppose to earn money now that I'm jobless? Geez, being jobless isn't fun at all. :'( :'( :'(
